"Hey Arthur, can you come over bro? I'm so bored on my own. "
"Again? I have a lot of work right now, Charles.", answered his younger brother.
"Oui, I understand. Good luck then, see you tomorrow", said Charles and hung up.
It was 8 pm on a Friday night and he was very bored of being alone but mostly bored of overthinking.
He was just about to call Carlos but he changed his mind, because Carlos wasn't even there and probably not at home.
His thoughts took another direction. He knew he had to face it - Max coming back to his life. After all these years of not being friends. "Although he said we were friends, there in the hospital..."
How did that happen? What does he feel now? Charles had no idea how Max felt about him now. One thing he knew is that his presence makes Charles shake, for whatever reason.
Before he changed his mind he decided to try his luck and called Max's number.
He picked up.
"Hello, Max. Here's Charles, but you must know that since you have my number."
"Hey, Leclerc. Is everything okay?"
"Yes... yes. Actually no. Can you come over?"
"Why?"
"I'm bored."
"Why me? Did you ask Pierre?"
He got to admit to himself that he didn't even think of Pierre this time, his thoughts took him somewhere else instead.
"What's the problem now? Are we not friends?"
"I'll be there in 15, Charles."
